Natural Selection 2 has evolved with the addition of a massive "Gorilla" patch to the beta. The update adds the fifth and final playable alien creature, The Gorilla, an enormous ape-like alien that looks a bit like a Triceratops. Alien players will be able to "toss marines with his Gore attack, smash structures and Stomp on the ground, sending a shockwave that disables marine structures for 5 seconds."

You pre-order Natural Selection 2 to get access to the ongoing Steam beta. There's no release date, but it's looking great. You can find out more about the FPS/RTS hybrid on the Natural Selection 2 site. Meanwhile, have a look at these new screens for a closer look at NS2's newest monster.
